Gaslight
A poem meant to snuff out that toxic flame
I thought it would be easy
But it seems like His test was much harder than most
I thought that flame would be quick to snuff out
Turns out that gaslight was burning
Why has it burned for such a long time?
Those flames were good to keep warm until burns start to form
3rd degree does not compare the number of tears and stress shed
Why did I let it keep burning? Why do I continue to let my heart suffer?
Many would say you are not done?
When is enough going to be enough for you?
Aren't you tired?
Why did you stay for so long?
Days turned to years and still no change
Questions asked for someone not willing to answer
Too many chances and continuously taken advantage
But that gaslight is still burning
Burning Hearts
Burning Trust
Burning chance after chance
Those 2 chances burned down to 3,300
Excuses kept that gaslight to burn
What are you waiting for?
Why let it burn for so long?
When will it realize your fed up?
That gaslight is still burning,
What will you do?
He is patiently waiting for your next try
He is waiting for you to snuff the light
It may be very tough especially when that gaslight was once a burning love
But now it's a burning pain
Enough is Enough
No more chances
Done with excuses
No more options
The only way to relieve yourself of the frustration
Simply and finally snuff that gaslight and subtract yourself from the toxic equation
